Loot Crate is a monthly service in which you receive geek-friendly merchandise at a discount, grouped around a particular theme. This month’s theme was heroes, which is even broader than last month's villains theme. The hero of note for this particularly item is the Flash.

Now every once in awhile Loot Crate comes up with something that you just wouldn't think of on your own. This is one of those products. I think the idea is just brilliant. And given that my son has red sneakers, these gold lightning bolts were perfect.

It took some doing to get them on his shoes -- if you don't have high tops, the bolts actually point downward instead of upward -- but the boy didn't mind at all. He rated it "Awesome," five out of five stars. Want your own Loot Crate? Sign up at LootCrate.com ($19.37/month for one month) and use code SAVE10 to receive 10% off.
